Bero Quits Red Hat Over Treatment of KDE
Vicegrip writes "In an article on leaked release notes on Redhat 8.0 CNet also revealed that Bernhard Rosenkraenzer, known here on Slashdot as berorh, has quit over objections he has on what Redhat is doing to KDE in the new release. Bero says that the new version of KDE in Redhat 8.0 is going to be crippleware.
I know I always found Bero's comments here on Slashdot helpful and insightful. His worries about what Redhat is doing to KDE for 8.0 have me rather concerned and thinking of switching distributions."
Soon the KDE developers will become unperson'ed. Airbrushed out of pictures, just like some famous Russian leaders. Already their interface has been airbrushed out of RedHat, and nobody real uses other Linux distributions.
who gives a flying fuck. I'll still crap my ass in the morning regardless of what Redhat or Bero does. Bon Voyage motherfucker!
I wonder if this will reflect poorly on the Linux operating system as a whole. Red Hat is synonymous with Linux to the layperson, and this might come across as a rat leaving a sinking ship. With Linux 8 on the horizon promising to finally close the feature gap with Windows, we can ill afford such bad press. Perhaps Slashdot should be keeping quiet about this, rather than broadcasting it. Any thoughts?
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
Sounds Jewish to me. Rosenkraenzer. That would explain everything. Let's have a vote.
Did you get permission to steal KDE's icon's for your website?!!
Seeing as how it's IIS crap I'll bet you think you can just walk all over the free software people, eh?
christ!
images are still subject to copyright last I checked...
That's utter bullshit. Red Hat has shipped without KDE before and they could do it again. In fact, if they actually wanted to neutralize it, that's exactly what they'd do. Do you seriously believe that Red Hat continues to include KDE because they hate it?
It seems the KDE community chooses to concentrate much more on their endless whining and political stunts than on development, and the comparitive quality of KDE and GNOME applications bears this out. Especially considering the head-start the KDE project had. Maybe if they had been developing instead of throwing tantrums their applications would be the ones Red Hat had chosen instead.
